Chapter 100 Chapter 100

Facing Xia Muqing's teasing gaze, the little koi shyly said, "Gurgle gurgle."

Well, it’s okay.

In fact, it had already realized that it was a dream, but it thought that it was Xiao Zi's ability and would definitely not hurt itself, so it did not break free immediately.

Xia Muqing: "Please tell me more about the reality of the dream. I also want to know about Xiao Zi's training progress."

The little koi fish twisted its tail and blushed.

Seeing the little koi's engrossed look, Xia Muqing had an idea in her mind. She thought that the dream created by the Yin-Yang Butterfly must be very good.

The Yin-Yang butterfly fluttered its wings beside it: "Ah-ah-ah!"

It completely copied the plot of the anime, letting the little koi fight monsters and level up in the dream, slap everyone in the face, and reach the peak of its life... This is the first time it has constructed such a complicated dream. It is now exhausted, but it also has a deeper understanding of the "dream entering" skill.

"Eh?"

Master, when its strength recovers, do you want to try its dream as well?

And Brother Gale Dog, would you like to try it too?

Xia Muqing was about to say "Okay," but then another question occurred to her: "Xiao Zi, if you were to create a dream for me and the Swift Dog, what kind of environment would you create?"

Liang Yi Butterfly hesitated: "...Yeah?"

Kill monsters...level up?

Xia Muqing couldn't help but laugh, and touched its little tentacles with her fingertips: "No, Xiao Zi, your training is not up to par yet."

"Everyone's deepest desires are different. How can you use the same dream to trap different hearts?"

"You possess the ability to sense emotions, which is also a form of understanding people's hearts. This shows that you are quite talented in this area. Let me think... you should work harder these few days and learn another skill."

"Perception Skill: Listening, how about that?"

Liang Yi Butterfly was slightly stunned, and Swift Dog also raised his head in confusion: "Awooo?"

It seemed to have heard of this skill from other beastmasters while practicing in the training grounds. Was it a skill that enhanced hearing and heightened the perception of profound beasts?

"It's not that simple," Xia Muqing explained. "What you said is just the most basic use of the listening skill. True listening can not only hear sounds from far away, but also hear the call of the heart."

"This skill requires extremely high compatibility with the Mystical Beast. If you don't have similar talents, even if you have Divine Beast-level talents, you can only learn superficial listening and cannot reach the level of listening to the heart."

"But Xiao Zi, I think you have potential in this area."

Liangyi Butterfly immediately straightened her posture and nodded seriously.

The beastmaster said it had the qualifications, so it would definitely study hard and not let Xia Muqing down.

Beside it, the little koi fish's eyes flickered as it muttered softly, "Gulu..."

Listen to your heart + weave dreams?

No, it also requires emotional perception and the infiltration of life energy!

Hiss, it feels like Xiao Zi will become a very scary guy, a big devil who plays with people's hearts or something... Wow, then won't it have no secrets in front of Xiao Zi in the future?

It’s over. I can’t play with my phone secretly anymore!

Xia Muqing smiled. "Listening is just to perceive people's deepest obsessions, so that Xiao Zi can compile matching dreams. It's not like I can read their minds all the time. Unless, Xiao Jin, your deepest desire is to secretly play with your phone..."

The little koi suddenly regained its full health, smoothed its chest with its fins, and let out a long breath: "Gululu."

I see. That’s all right then.

Xia Muqing: "..."

Xia Muqing shook her head helplessly: "Alright, let's talk about training tomorrow. Let's go eat first. If we don't hurry up, the nutritious meals in the cafeteria will be sold out."

Although Chi Zi said that ordinary mysterious beasts only need to eat once a week, Xia Muqing has also discovered during this period that the three mysterious beasts of her family may have excellent aptitudes and their bodies absorb nutrients very quickly, so they can have no problem eating once every three days.

Especially the little koi, carrying an unformed dragon pill, is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

Xia Muqing never treated her contracted beasts badly. She believed that if they could eat, they should eat to their heart's content. Every now and then, she would take her three beasts out for nutritious meals. Later, even the chef in the cafeteria knew her.

The 100 credits were spent like water, and now only half is left.

There is also a meditation house. Xia Muqing finally found a place that can help the Gale Dog further improve and is also very effective for her to practice mental power. She has made up her mind these days and has poured her savings into it.

Although it cost a lot of money, the results were very significant. Currently, she was able to initially build a mental shield, but there were still some blockages in the flow that needed to be optimized. The same was true for the Swift Dog. The skill "Time and Space Lock" that had previously been difficult to learn had finally shown some signs of improvement in the past few days.

But then again…

As Xia Muqing led a few mysterious beasts to the cafeteria, she curiously cast her eyes on the Swift Dog. If reaching the pinnacle of life was Little Koi's dream, then what about Little Wind?

What is its deepest obsession?

…

When Xia Muqing took the three mysterious beasts to the cafeteria, the Combat Club was holding its first meeting of the new semester on the fifth floor of the teaching building of Yandu University.

The attendees were the Combat Club's president, two vice presidents, and several members of the main team's vice-presidents. President Ji Jingming sat at the far right of the long table, tapping the cover of his notebook with his pen in frustration. "I called everyone here today because I have a few things to announce."

"The first is the issue of the change of president. Since Cheng Zizhuo still refuses to take on the position of president, I will have to take over temporarily."

The members of the Fighting Club below applauded, and someone shouted, "President, isn't it a good thing to take over temporarily? Why are you sighing?"

Hearing this, Ji Jingming rolled his eyes: "...If you like it, it's your turn?"

He didn't want to be the president. He had to deal with a lot of affairs every day, help organize battles and competitions, analyze and customize growth plans for each member, and sometimes even represent the school in external activities with teachers... There were so many things to do in all aspects, Ji Jingming felt that he had become a corporate slave before he even entered society.

The most important thing is that as the president of the combat club, his combat power is not the strongest in the school. Isn't it embarrassing for him to sit in this position?

Someone else interrupted, "Why doesn't Cheng Shen want to be the president? The Fighting Club is the most popular club in Yanda."

Ji Jingming became increasingly listless. "He said he had more important things to do... which is understandable. He's already a Divine Beast Master, so he probably wouldn't care about these little fights in school."

Damn, talking about Ji Jingming made me even more sad. His peers were already divine beast masters, and I heard some were joining the adventurer exploration team. Compared to them, wasn't he, the president of the combat club, just picking up discarded items?

"Oh, this is so annoying! I heard there's a pervert among the new students this year. I really hope someone comes along and replaces me soon... Ahem, anyway, I'll be arranging this year's admissions."

"Like previous years, this year's Combat Society Recruitment Fair will be held in the form of a challenge tournament. The first stage is a showdown between newcomers, to screen out some promising prospects. The second stage is a battle between seniors, to set an example for the newcomers and also to diminish their prestige. There's also the part where freshmen challenge seniors, which is the focus of today's discussion. I mean... who among you will take on this?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the conference room fell silent.

Ji Jingming: “……?”

He raised his head, his surprised eyes sweeping over the faces of each member: "What's going on? What happened to you all?"

"It's so cool and impressive to beat up the freshmen. In the past, seniors would have fought over this opportunity. You...you guys, can you at least show some reaction?"

"Zhao Yu, didn't your three-eyed black crow evolve successfully? Du Siruo, didn't your eight-petaled chrysanthemum just learn a new move? You're all powerful mystical beasts, so speak more confidently... Wait, why are you all looking at me?"

Someone in the crowd weakly raised their hand: "President, I heard there's a beast master among the new students this year."

“…”

"It's impressive to beat up freshmen, but what if you get beaten up by freshmen?"

“…”

"Boss, why don't you go up there yourself?"

"I agree, President, you go ahead and give it a try!"

With a "click", Ji Jingming couldn't help but tear the cover of the notebook into pieces.

He was so worried that his brows were almost twisted together, and he kept wailing in his heart - he knew that being the president of the Combat Club was not easy, he should have turned it down when the teacher asked him to run for re-election!

Isn't it embarrassing for the president to go on stage? The key point is that the president himself doesn't have a magical beast, so he still gets beaten up when he goes on stage!

This job is too difficult!

Facing the expectant gazes of the members, Ji Jingming thought for a long time, his brain racing, and finally came up with a solution.

"What do you think about adding a rule to the challenge match? Divine beasts are not allowed to participate?"

Members: “……?”

Vice President Bai Siqi whispered, "Isn't that too targeted? It would be embarrassing if I told anyone about it."

Ji Jingming: “…”

Ji Jingming was extremely anxious and was just about to say, "Then you guys should think of a way that won't embarrass yourself," when suddenly his cell phone buzzed and a conversation request popped up.

Ji Jingming glanced at it and said, "Sorry, it's the headmaster of literature calling. I'm going to go out and answer it... Hello, senior... what did you say?"

He turned around, his expression somewhat excited: "Master Wen said that we should not be afraid. If a divine beast really comes on the field, he will come to fight!"

A group of people in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Jingming finally felt relieved. Wen Shaohao, the head of the Literature Club, was the previous president of the Fighting Club and a legendary figure at Yanda University. However, he was now a junior and no longer participated in the club's activities.

"It's great that the headmaster is willing to come and help us."

After the embarrassing scene just now, Ji Jingming was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "I remember that two of Wenxuezhang's mysterious beasts have reached the level of quasi-divine beasts. They are just a little bit away from becoming divine beasts, right?"

"They also possess the rudiments of divine skills and are experienced in combat. If they were to face a young, newly advanced divine beast, it's hard to say who would win!"

Someone else asked, "What if that freshman doesn't send his beast into the game?"

Ji Jingming felt relaxed at the moment and replied naturally, "If they don't send a divine beast, we can just go ahead normally. Why, she has already raised a divine beast, so her resources must have been greatly diverted. How could the other profound beasts be any more powerful?"

That person: "I heard that her koi fish is also very strong, and she won the provincial champion of J Province this year..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ji Jingming grinned. "So what if I'm the top scholar? Who isn't the top scholar in a province?"

"If you throw a brick at Yandu University, you can hit seven or eight top scorers!"

He was only afraid of that mythical beast. If it were any other mysterious beast, Ji Jingming felt he was completely capable of it. After all, he was the acting president of Yanda's Combat Club. He certainly wasn't just sitting there doing nothing for show.

"Then it's settled. If no Divine Beast appears in the Freshman Challenge, I'll cover for you. If a Divine Beast does appear, Wen-Sheng will come to help hold the fort."

"Everyone, cheer up! Although recruiting is difficult, if you think about it from another perspective, isn't this year's College Student Challenge much easier?"
